Abstract

Objectives: To examine rankings of credible sources for discussing secure storage within a representative sample of firearm-owning service members, and examine how combinations of demographic variables impact the ranking of credible sources.

Methods: The probability-based sample was collected with the help of Ipsos. Participants were US service members who owned a firearm at the time of the survey (n = 719).

Results: The total sample ranked service members, Veterans, and members of law enforcement as the most credible sources and faith leaders, casual acquittances, and celebrities as the least credible sources. Black men ranked the NRA as a highly credible source whereas Black females ranked the NRA as one of the least preferred sources. Regardless of political preference, those who lived in non-metropolitan rural environments ranked members of law enforcement as highly credible sources. Those who lived in non-metropolitan rural and urban settings and identified as liberal ranked the National Shooting Sports Foundation as a highly credible source.

Conclusions: Law enforcement officers, military members, and Veterans are ranked as highly credible sources by most subgroups of firearm-owning service members. Leveraging these voices in firearm safety conversations is necessary, may increase adherence to secure storage recommendations, and ultimately reduce suicide.

确定哪些军人认为讨论预防自杀的枪支安全问题是可信的。

目标：研究具有代表性的样本中讨论安全存储的可信来源的排名：研究具有代表性的枪支持有者样本中讨论安全存储的可信来源的排名，并研究人口统计学变量的组合如何影响可信来源的排名：在益普索公司的帮助下收集了基于概率的样本。调查对象为调查时拥有枪支的美国现役军人（n = 719）：总样本将军人、退伍军人和执法人员列为最可信的信息来源，将宗教领袖、熟人和名人列为最不可信的信息来源。黑人男性将全国步枪协会列为可信度很高的消息来源，而黑人女性则将全国步枪协会列为最不喜欢的消息来源之一。无论政治倾向如何，那些生活在非大都市农村环境中的人都将执法人员列为高度可信的消息来源。那些生活在非大都市农村和城市环境中并认为自己是自由派的人将全国射击运动基金会列为高度可信的信息来源：执法人员、军人和退伍军人被大多数拥有枪支的服务成员分组评为高度可信的信息来源。在枪支安全对话中利用这些声音是必要的，可以提高对安全存储建议的遵守程度，并最终减少自杀。

期刊介绍： An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
